Green Lantern #24 [Spoilers] - Sinestro Corps War, Part 8

Sinestro may be an evil genius type, but he sure does suck at the oath-writing. "Let those who try to stop what's right?" Seriously?

But I doubt that anyone hearing it is criticizing his style.

I was pleased to see Hal's reply to the others who were wondering why Kyle hadn't broken free of Parallax yet and saying that he didn't even seem to be trying. I suppose it's inevitable that Kyle will have some problems, particularly with the other Green Lanterns, because of this, but it's still good to see Hal trying to prevent this.

I also enjoyed Guy's crabby resentment of having to go after the painting. :)

And speaking of Kyle, any sign of the sexy sort of evil? Well and truly gone. There are some seriously disturbing visuals in this issue, particularly the way Parallax takes Hal as well into himself. (The way Hal and Guy get out isn't too appealing, either.)

And I am, actually, pretty happy with the way this issue ends. I never did care much for Kyle's Ion identity (last year's maxi-series didn't help much with that) so seeing him back as a regular old Green Lantern again? Best outcome possible!
